For more than half a century, C. L. R. James (1901OCo1989)OCothe
Black Plato, as coined by the London "Times"OCohas been an
internationally renowned revolutionary thinker, writer, and
activist. Born in Trinidad, his lifelong work was devoted to
understanding and transforming race and class exploitation in his
native West Indies, as well as in Britain and the United States. In
"C. L. R. James's Caribbean," noted scholars examine the roots of
both James's life and oeuvre in connection with the economic,
social, and political environment of the West Indies.
Drawing upon James's observations of his own life as revealed to
interviewers and close friends, this volume provides an examination
of James's childhood and early years as colonial literatteur and
his massive contribution to West Indian political-cultural
understanding. Moving beyond previous biographical interpretations,
the contributors here take up the problem of reading James's texts
in light of poststructuralist criticism, the implications of his
texts for Marxist discourse, and for problems of Caribbean
development.
